You need to type ESC, then S (for Setup) and then edit Associations and 
File extensions to add zgv as a file for file types .tif .tiff .jpg .jpeg 
.jpe .gif .png .pnm .pbm .ppm.  Or seejpeg to view only .gif and .jpg etc.

I was wrong.

Seejpeg requires only libvga.so.1, which can be extracted from either 
svgalib.tgz or elflibs.tgz.

Zgv for delilinux requires the Slackware 7.1 glibc-solibs 2.1.3 (whatever 
the exact name is, it is about 1.3M, or you can use the SW8.1 
glibc-solibs instead, which lets you use some other precompiled programs 
such as xpdf) and also several other libraries, all found in elflibs.tgz.
libvgagl.so.1     52K
libvga.so.1      275K
libjpeg.so.6.2   127K
libpng.so.2      170K
libtiff.so.3     180K
libz.so.1q        62K
(and the usual libraries from glibc).

elflibs.tgz contains many other libraries that you don't need such as 
libslang and librle and libreadline, but they are not all that large and 
might be useful later.

Links2 from delilinux needs the SW7.1 glibc so package and the above 
libraries, so if you are going to install zgv from delilinux it is not 
much extra time and space to get and install links2 from delilinux.

Is there also a zgv compiled for BL3 which does not need the SW71 glibc?
